I run a computer repair shop, and do E-Waste as a second job. We serve three schools, and did two collection events this spring. We have two other collection points, but they're small volume. We haven't started advertising yet, but we will be soon. Here's what I currently use:
1. A 1997 Ford E350 15' Box Van. It's great, except for some bad rust. If someone knows about rust, I can get pictures. Recommendations on whether it's safe or not would be appreciated. I really like the truck, but I won't use dangerous equipment.
2. A 1995 F-150 Flareside. I've used this instead of the van. It's too small to be of use. But, with a trailer...
I'm just curious to see how you guys do it. I've damaged a fair amount of cargo. In the box van, my stuff moves too much. My cases get scratched, and some get chipped. In the truck, I always seem to hit a freak rain storm, or my cases move too much again.
So, what do you guys use to haul computers, and how do you secure your loads? I refurbish as many PCs as I can, but I ruin way too many in transit.
Any tips or advice would be great!
